While "Pet Sematary" wasn't too bad (At least, it wasn't so bad as other adaptations of any Stephen King book into a movie, and it was certainly much better than the awful sequel) I think that this film doesn't make any justice to the original book, which was darker and more complex.
That being said, I think that, at least, "Pet Sematary" was somewhat entertaining to watch, despite (Or maybe because of) some cheesy scenes (Particularly the ending, which includes a laughable special effect failure) On the other side, the atmosphere was pretty well done, there were a couple of interesting scenes, and Fred Gwynne was perfect in the Jud Crandall role.
I guess that it could have been much worse. (Like "Pet Sematary II".) But there are much better adaptations of the books written by Stephen King, such as the original "Carrie" film, "The Shining", "Misery" and "1408".
